182.The Rough Guide to Devon and Cornwall (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by: Robert Andrews May 31, 2007

I've always queried the concept of the Rough Guide series of books. I know there was the TV show in the 80's I think it was, where people like Magenta de Vine pretended to be down with the kids and talk about Eastern Europe on a shoestring budget, all the while looking like her Gucci slacks had never seen a hostel let alone be strewn across its floor. My question about the books was then, should I draw any link between the two brand names spanning different media? It sort of appears that I should, because the Rough Guide isn't, as one inference might suggest, a loose approximation of information, or an author's best guess at something (i.e. Cornwall is roughly west of London and quite nice). Funny as that might be, it night not ... Read More:

I have visited quite a few Greek islands and found this book extremely useful. I recently went to the Cyclades and the detail was excellent, however if you're going to Syros/Myknonos area I'd also pack Nobble Hospital of the Aegean by Paul Judges which offers some fascinating insights.

185.Nicholson Guide to the Waterways: Four Counties & the Welsh Canals No. 4 (Waterways Guide) from: OS-Nicholson March 06, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.09 You Save: £4.90 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.99
These guides are a must for any canal enthusiast, you don't even have to be on a boat. Clear giudes of what is around the canal and very informative on the routes you take. I have some of the old Nicholson's guides, but this updated guide has even more information and lots of coloured photographs. Why buy at Amazon? savings of well over half on RRP are why. Got my guide from Morebooks Direct via Amazon for only £5.94 amazing.

187.Sri Lanka (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Joe Cummings, Teresa Cannon, Mark Elliott, Ryan Ver Berkmoes August 01, 2006

I've just spent three months travelling round Sri Lanka with both the Rough Guide and the Lonely Planet guide. I have to say, that the Rough Guide proved, on almost all counts, to be the much better option. Obviously neither guide is perfect - the Rough Guide is excellent on the South coast, but not so good when you travel further north, and both guides fail to give much useful information (or the correct information!) about how to travel around by public bus. However, the Lonely Planet guide is pretty inaccurate throughout. Many of the maps are wrong, for instance, and it fails to actually give a balanced view of whether place is worth visiting. Even if some people might consider the Rough Guide to be too negative, I found that ... Read More:

188.Trans-Siberian Handbook (Trailblazer) by: Bryn Thomas July 25, 2007

If you are planning to take a trip on the Trans-Siberian, Trans-Mongolian or Trans-Manchurian railway, I URGE you to purchase this book! I cannot express how invaluable this book was to me during my trip. The book contains a wealth of important information. It helps you to book your trip with suggestions of companies to go through as well as informing you of any complications that may arise such as visas, vaccinations. It has a stop-by-stop guide of the entire length of the railway for all 3 journies as well as kilometre markings and places of interest along the route outside of stops, for photo opportunities and such. Inside of stops, for the bigger towns along the way it contains a map (very valuable) marking out places ... Read More:

189.Switzerland (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Damien Simonis, Sarah Johnstone, Nicola Williams June 01, 2006

I did most of the French side this summer and found it to be spot on. You could be travelling to a town/city by train and reading about your destination, when you get there its totally like the descriptions in the book. Theres lots of background info on Swiss soceity/culture which helps you to chat with the locals by knowing their frame of reference. If you want a good holiday in Switzerland you have to travel around and see the natural sights, this book is great for planning your itinery. Only flaw I spotted was I was walking on a bridge in Bern that wasn't on the LP map and was lost for about 2 minutes. If visiting, its best to buy this before you travel so you can do a day by day plan. I did and it ran very smoothly ... Read More:

190.The Rough Guide to New Zealand (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by: Laura Harper, Anthony Stephen Mudd, Paul Whitfield September 28, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.39 You Save: £5.60 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £13.38
This book was invaluable during my travel around the islands. I thoroughly recommend it. The advice on hostels and hotels was spot on and became my bible for deciding where to visit and what to do. I also heard from others I met travelling that they rate it over other similar guide books as they are more `frank' about their advice on the standards of places to stay.
